RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A $1 million prize has yet to be claimed from a ticket sold in Asheville.

The Powerball jackpot is at $360 million and a Winston-Salem woman is celebrating her good fortune from last weekend's drawing.

The huge jackpot is up for grabs on Wednesday, but Paula Lampkins cashed in her ticket for $1 million after matching the five white balls last Saturday.

Lampkins is a hospital housekeeper who says winning the lottery means she will no longer need to live with a roommate. But Lampkins did say she will help her roommate because of what she did for her, adding that she would share her $680,000 after-tax winnings with her nine brothers and sisters and two adult children.
